Richard,

Thanks for the info. Under these circumstances I suppose that the CGI calling mode is the best suited.

On the other hand this option might raise some performance penalty. I wonder if better performance could be achieved if I would use a socket based call interface to my module running inside the running PHP server.

Regards,
Robert

Is there a way of calling the functions of a compiled module from a
third party C application?

Probably not...

I suppose that Prioblender thingie or one of the compilers might be
able to be hacked with a PHP CLI binary to kind of do that, but a base
PHP install doesn't ever actually store the opcodes anywhere in a
compiled form as you are imagining.

Even the various Caches only store opcode, and not machine
code/binaries, so you still need the Zend Engine to rip through and
execute them somewhere somehow, I think.

Of course, you could use PHP to provide REST, SOAP, WebDAV, etc
